3-year-old Pattarawut is among the 23 children who died in a gun and knife attack yesterday at a childcare centre in Thailand's north-east.
A 64-year-old grandmother wants to know when she can see her grandson, so she can place his most treasured possessions with him in his coffin - the bag includes a large plastic dinosaur.
Duangphan Patphaothanun is wandering outside a childcare centre, clutching a bag full of toys.
A former policeman had stormed the building, killing children as young as two while they slept, leaving at least 37 people dead.
More than 90 children usually attend the centre but because of poor weather and a bus breakdown only 24 of them were there yesterday.
Only one child has survived.
Police say the 34-year-old attacker, a local named Panya Kamrab killed his wife and his step-son, before killing himself after a manhunt.
His step-son used to attend the centre but had not been for the past month.
Many of the relatives said they had waited outside the childcare centre well into the night yesterday, while others gathered at the police station.
They would eventually be greeted by the sight of pink and white coffins adorned with gold, bearing the bodies of the children, which were brought to a hospital morgue in Udon Thani and laid out in rows.
